I thought Eragon by Paolini was pretty good (can't believe he was only 15 when he wrote it), maybe I liked it because the herbalists name was Angela LOL.I also remember my Step Dad had a dusty old copy of The Hobbit, I really enjoyed reading that series as well, the author's love for the trees I could really relate to, around the same time they began cutting down the outer edge of the forest behind my house. I remember sitting in a stump and crying, I really "felt" the trees pain, I could hear almost like a mourning song coming from the other plants around.Angie Goodloe LMT, Herbalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17909719885319666896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790417431815963620.post-73392484022238929252007-07-19T07:37:00.000-07:002007-07-19T07:37:00.000-07:00one of the pivotal moments in my herbal learning c...one of the pivotal moments in my herbal learning curve was when, around a fire very late one night, someone was complaining of mosquio bites. It was pitch black, especially walking away from the fire. I walked a bit aways, felt the ground with my feet, reached down, pulled a couple plantain leaves up. I remembered that scene kiva mentioned, where strider says, "I found this plant in the dark by its scent..."<BR/><BR/>~yeah~<BR/><BR/>Harry Potter is among the best literature that I think has been written in the last couple decades; everyone should read it.<BR/><BR/>Anyone else read jonathan strange and mr norrell? that's also quite good...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790417431815963620.post-91843694683363310382007-07-17T15:32:00.000-07:002007-07-17T15:32:00.000-07:00yes, clan of the cave bear, that is probably my bi...yes, clan of the cave bear, that is probably my biggest single influence on my lifes work, hearts path etc....<BR/><BR/>i was 12, and enamored tha tyou could eat plants!Darcey Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590696744520619452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790417431815963620.post-62327652261204752832007-07-17T13:58:00.000-07:002007-07-17T13:58:00.000-07:00Hi Kiva, I will have to make a note of the books y...Hi Kiva, I will have to make a note of the books you mentioned. The first book I read that really did that for me was Clan of The Cave Bear, still on my top list of favorites. I was about 7 or 8, this really pushed me in the direction I am now, considering I was such a rebel I doubt family influence would have persuaded me as fast (I would have taken the lessons for granted), you know when you are a adolescent you like to make decisions for yourself. My sister Cierra was about 7 or 8 at the time Harry Potter came out, she is the one who got me started on the books. When the first one came out she begged me to read it, at first, I didn't really get into it either, but she kept on and by the 3rd book I was hooked. My sister and I are going together to get the books this weekend, I managed to get my husband hooked too LOLAngie Goodloe LMT, Herbalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17909719885319666896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790417431815963620.post-25531910875394654642007-07-17T13:18:00.000-07:002007-07-17T13:18:00.000-07:00While I can't seem to work up any interest in Harr...While I can't seem to work up any interest in Harry Potter, I do love books steeped in the mythological and well-versed in plant lore... I had a totally profound moment the first time I read the Fellowship of the Ring and Strider went used those special plants on Frodo's wound, I was about six or seven and it was one those defining moments that taught me something about myself. I also love the plant lore included in books like Wise Child and The Red Tent. I only wish there were more books like that. <BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, I love Hazel too, though I haven't seen any since I moved from Northern Pennsylvania.
